Hope and Healing Conference 2021

May 6, 2021 @ 8:30 am - 4:15 pm

Father Gregory Boyle, S. J., Founder and Director of Homeboy Industries, will be joining us from Los Angeles to discuss his Methodology of Love, Community, and Tenderness.  Homeboy Industries is the largest gang intervention program in the United States.

Building an inclusive community, one in which everyone has the opportunity to lead a fulfilling life as a valued member free from prejudice requires a “reframing” of the methods used to relate to each other. Click here for more information.
